The putting-out system, also known as the cottage industry system, was a production method prevalent in the pre-industrial era, where work was contracted by a central agent to subcontractors who completed tasks in their own homes. This system allowed for the production of goods, such as textiles, without the need for centralized factories. It provided flexibility and utilized local labor but often resulted in uneven quality and income for workers. The putting-out system gradually declined with the rise of industrialization and factory-based production methods.
